    stdio.h?

    Okay this is goign to be really random sorry for this but im kinda confused basically
    I compiled this programmed with a Makefile im not sure if they have control over this but one of the files has a

    #include <stdio.h>

    and apparently when it gets compiled it doesnt see that so i wasnt sure where to look for this

    but i tried creating a simple test program. with the stdio.h and had a printf saying hello
    and the gcc was able to see that ??

    so the only diffrerence is that with the program thats not working im doing it like

    cc instead of gcc would that make a difference to y theres not stdio.h

    Hmm, kiros88 if you have stumbled into linux kernel programming (a guess based on your earlier post) much of the standard library, in particular stdio.h, is not available.
    C programming resources:
    GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
    The C Book -- nice online learner guide
    Current ISO draft standard
    CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository

    If you're building kernels, any of the library's are available.

    Sorry nathan, this is incorrect with regard to the linux kernel: It runs by itself. It does NOT link to any external libraries. You cannot #include anything outside of the kernel source tree. This is why there are functions such as printk() included in the tree.

    Make a new file and name it "stdio.h" and put it in the same directory as the code you're trying to compile. Paste the following into stdio.h.

    Code:
    /*
     * stdio.h
     *
     * Definitions of types and prototypes of functions for standard input and
     * output.

    Then, replace the #include <stdio.h> with #include "stdio.h". It should compile fine.

    It will compile -- but will it link? Now you have to write the body for all of those functions....
